Smart Home Energy Management System Smart Home Energy Management System

By Ojas Chanakya, Aniruddh Viswananthan

We have developed a smart home energy management system prototype that divides the house into sectors and efficiently chooses which sector is powered by what energy source. The reason why we developed this project was that in India, the adoption of renewable energy is still not widespread, despite the subsidies and…

Interfacing digital Caliper with Raspberry Pi Interfacing a Digital Caliper with Raspberry Pi to Measure CNC Lead Screw Accuracy

A hobbyist assessed CNC lead screw accuracy by building a setup using digital calipers interfaced with a Raspberry Pi. These calipers transmit data via a 76 kbps synchronous serial protocol, requiring precise timing. Python proved inefficient, so the code was rewritten in C for better performance.

The calipers output two 24-bit…
